Part of the first collection of 3 delightful children's stories, entitled "Apples, Pipe and Raindrops". These 3 stories capture the delights and curiosities we all faced growing up. "The Pipe With The Silver Band" was written during primary school and shows how children's imaginations are uninhibited by logic. "Apples: Core, Pips and All" is about what we were all told when we accidentally swallowed apple pips. "The Raindrop" is based on a bedtime story my father made up one night. It captured my imagination and simply had to be reproduced and included in this collection. These are fun short stories which can be enjoyed by adults and children alike.

War memories do not have an age requirement. They force you to mature and give you no choice but to cope with the realities of the world. In this memoir, author Sigrid Jackson tells what it was like being a child of war in East Germany before and after World War II. In East German Girl, Jackson describes what it was like to live through the bombing raids, food shortages, diphtheria, communism, and being forced to leave her home with her mother and brother to be relocated to a rural farm. Using personal anecdotes to illustrate how God has worked in her life, Jackson demonstrates the courage that was necessary to escape East Germany to freedom in the west when she was just twelve years old. From an alcoholic, absentee father to an unsuspecting future husband, life continuously threw her curveballs, but East German Girl narrates an inspirational story of war, communism, family betrayal, and finally resilience.

The unending bewilderment of moving gives way to the healthy challenges of small repairs, new roofs, and bookcases, and the heady enthusiasms for horses, Little League, trumpet playing and magic.Shirley Jackson uses her great talent to picture the rich and varied day-to-day living of an unusual but not really so different American family.

Their new friend Calix explains that the first creature they encountered is Lavesque, the guardian of the underwater entrance to the mysterious and magical word of Levlor. As if that wasn't enough, Calix tells Andrew and Abby that their parents are alive, and were taken to Levlor because their mother was attacked by Lavesque and was in need of healing. In Levlor, their mother, Lyla, has been made a princess, while their father, Lester, has been turned into an evil creature much like Lavesque.
